CLOTHES HANGER.

Application filed December 28, 1922'. Serial No. 608,900.

T o all ire/lam it may concern.

Be it known that I, DALTON B. Mrnns, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Clothes Hanger, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a clothes hanger primarily intended to be'eonstructed so that all the articles of clothing customarily worn by an individual may be hung on the same hanger in neat and orderly fashion and readily transported to a desired checking room.

While not necessarily limited to such use, this invention is primarily designed to relieve the congestion in bath houses during Such bath which are rentedto persons desiring to go in swimming and have very exceptionally heavy demands at certain holidays and other periods in the year. These heavy holiday demands are practically impossible to meet without constructing a large quantity of space and room which will be idle and useless for a greater portion of the year.

The object of this invention is to provide a clothes hanger on which'may be hung all the articles of clothing customarily worn by an individual including shoes, hats, underclothes, coats and overclothes, which hanger may be carried to a proper checking point and the dressing room rendered available for other occupants. In this manner the clothing while the same is in bathing, may be in almost continuous use.

Various other advantages and objects of this invention will appear from the following drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention in whch- Figure 1 illustrates the hanger in use showing the relative position of mens clothing thereupon.

- Figure 2 is a front elevation of this einbodiment of my invention.

Figure 3 is a rear elevation of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a vertical section on the line H, Figure 2. I

Figure 5 is a vertical section on the line f 55, Figure 2.

Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates a hook which is suitably secured to the center of a rigid member 2, said member being slightly curved to correspond somewhat to the normal slope of a persons shoulde s.- 3' indicates an elongated rectangular fabric member which is supported from its upper end by said member 2. Preferably a fabric flap portion a is sewed to the member 3 forming an inverted pocket shaped at the top to correspond to the curve of'the rigid member 2 and having an opening 8 through which the hook 1 may pass. 9 indicates .suitable buttons for closing said flap portion- 4. Said fabric member 3 is preferably composed of canvas or other inexpensive readily washable material and is provided with a number of compartments or pockets 5 which are preferably sewed on the same 1 side of said member 3. 6 indicates a rod preferably of wood which is secured to the fabric member 3 preferably by strips of the same material suitablysewed therearound. Said rod 6 is preferably sewed to the fabric member 3 on the opposite side of which are secured the pockets 5. "At the center of said member 3 and near the top is sewed a suitable clamp or clasp 7 which is adapted to hold a hat or other article. Preferably such clasp 7 should be sewed on side as the pockets 5.

In use the clothing is best assembled in the bag in the following manner:

Theunderclothes may be folded or rolled and placed in the upper bag 5, the shoes are placed in the lower bag 5, the rod 6 is employed to suitably hold a pair of trousers, and the hat, vest and shirt, if preferred, may be hung over the top of the rigid memher 2.. The coat should be so hung that the clasps 7 will beupon the open side of the coat, in which case there exists the least chance of creasing or folding the coat. The head-gear may then be easily. secured to the clasp 7 l/Vhen using such a hanger in connection with a bath house, it is intended that such hanger shall then be. carried to a checking room and checked, whereupon the clothing is maintained in a relatively small space in neat orderly array until called for by the checker. The fabricmember 3 may easily be disengaged from the rigid.

the same 1 claim 1. A clothes hanger comprising a curving rigid member adapted'to hold coats from their shoulder portions, a fabric'member supported at one end from said rigid memher and having a plurality of pockets suspended therebeloW for separately receiving articles of clothing, means for suspending trousers and preventing their creasing, and a hat clasp secured. and positioned on said fabric member to extend through the neck portion of a coat When held on said rigid member.

2. Arclothes hanger comprising a curving rigid member adapted to hold coats from their shoulder portions, a fabric member supported at one end from said rigid member and having a plurality of pockets I suspended therebelow for receiving articles of clothing, means for suspending trousers from said fabric member on the opposite side to said pockets whereby said trousers are hung along a non-bulging surface, and means positively for attaching a hat, said means being extended through the neck portion of a coat When the same is held on said rigid member with its open side positioned on same side as said pockets.
